lowing the sun a chance of a warm and friendly glimpse now and then.

Gradually the Virginian creeper' is extending its beautifying tendrils to the upper part of the grey stands, clothing them with a warmth which was delightful to see on such a cold day. The lawns, deeply covered with straw, were effectively and brightly edged with flower borders in vivid tones of yellow, pink, and crimson, antirrhinums being used in great numbers. In front of the red-brick'stabtes were masses of orange and lemon antirrhinums, then some pink mallows and other flowers, while close against the walls were scarlet geraniums, garden inside the gate, near the parking place, was beautifully, arrayed in pastel tones of zinnias, salpiglossis, and begonias. Another wide border . had an edging of begonias and a central mass of pale pink phlox, while over the way purple verbenas'and pink convolvulus were surrounded with more begonias. The wide lawns with the English trees were a deep green, and the borders held more antirrhinums, hydrangeas, and some fine dahlias. It was surprising after so much stormy weather that-the flowers should have held their own so well. Pleasant music was discoursed by the Port Nicholson Silver Band, and the Commissionaires were here, there, and everywhere with their usual courteous efficiency. WINTRY FASHIONS. Was it the cold and stormy weather, or is it a fact that women are—in day styles at least—forsaking freakishness and turning out in wonderfully practical clothes? The new fashion arbiters in London—said to be men who are responsible for a great many of> the weird modes which have obtained, and to have started them in order to see how far their fellow countrywomen would be led in adopting exotic and extraordinary fashions —would have been distinctly discouraged could they have viewed Trentham styles. Moderation was the dominant note. No extra width of shoulders, no extreme in the length of skirts, smartness in colour and cut, but an adherence to cemfort and common sense in all the frocking and coating, which was, in most cases, eminently becoming. Hats allowed a little more variety and unusualness, and the higher and pointed ones came very near in favour to the haloes and "shovels" with quills and stiff bows of felt as adornments. Coats, of course, were the principal wear, tweeds, friezes, cloths, checked, striped, pin-striped, figured, and plain—and, of course, a great variety of fur coats and handsome necklets and collars. All coats were tailored with discretion, and there Were many three-pieces and ensembles. Buttons were a. feature, and stitched hats and caps, matching in material to the coats, were an added interest. Shoes, bags, scarves, and accessories generally are a feature of most women's dress, and add- much to the charm of their appearance, as was the case yesterday. LUNCHEON PARTIES. The Stewards' luncheon rooms were attractively decorated with Victorian posies on the official tables, while sweet-scented pink and mauve stocks, delphiniums, and pink-toned asters were used on the others, and around tho wall brackets w.ere hydrangeas in many autumn tones.
